wont turn over after revved up to 3000 and flat out died whilst driving

[Kerri]

Just to fill u in, its a 2000 but has a 2004 3.0l motor. Whilst driving she revved to 3000 and just died,
now it just clicks (just put a brand new battery in it after it died too). Please Help, thanks all.

Hmm could be many things but I would first remove the air flow meter and give it a clean.

Hi Kerri,

Not good to hear you are stuck.

Did it rev to 3000 rpm on its own or were you driving it at 3000 rpm and then it shutdown?

You need to provide more detail for anyone to have an understanding of what has happened??

[Kerri]

haapygu-shot upto 3000(on its own) whilst driving.
Bloodyaussie-what would u like to know?

[Kerri]

mudski-will try it but would that make the engine rev up and cut out and die though?

Kerri,

If you have a manual gearbox, try putting it in gear and rolling it forward or backwards a little to see if rotating the crankshaft in the motor changes anything.

Sounds like injector pump possibly....

Was there any smoke out the back when it played up?

Dunno mate. It takes about five minutes to try it though... The TPS maybe shot????

[Kerri]

it is auto and can manually crank-and there was no smoke! no sound! 2004 motor was only put in bout 5 mths ago (was from a manual)

[happygu]

It isn't locked up solid by the sounds of it, and it is cranking over but not starting?

If this is the case, and there is no smoke out the back, it is pointing towards the fuel pump as the main culprit

If it isn't cranking, then check that you are getting 12V to the starter motor when cranking.
